Author’s Note : My friend told me this pretty scary story via email about one her office branch located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

My office branch in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is under going some renovation works recently. Last Tuesday, as usual, our Kota Kinabalu branch will hold a weekly meeting from 8pm until 10pm. One of our managers would usually stay back even later than usual to further discuss some matters with some of her staff. That night was like any other nights for the manager. About 11pm, the manager wanted to go to the toilet and excused herself. As she was walking towards the toilet, she suddenly saw a shadow floating into the toilet. The first thought that came to her mind was that perhaps it was too late already and she was imagining things. So she thought nothing further and continued walking into the toilet.

Author’s Note : For those of you that stay in apartments and condos, have you ever experience cases where your upstairs neighbor makes so much noise at odd hours that it irritates you? That you couldn’t even sleep at all? Well, here are 2 short stories of 2 different people that experienced something similar

Short Story 1

During weekdays, Reene usually stays with her parents whereas on weekends, she would stay with her husband. Her husband, on the other hand, would be living with his parents during weekdays as this arrangement was due to the convenience of both parities working nearby their parent’s house. As usual on Saturdays, Reene and her husband would go to their house and clean up. Recently late last year, Reene and her husband as usual were cleaning up the house when the doorbell suddenly rang. Reene’s husband, Max answered the door and got a surprise when the person introduced himself as their neighbor who was staying directly at the unit just below them, Mr A. Mr A apologized profusely for disturbing them and requested if some of his requests could be obeyed. Curious, Max asked if there was anything that he could help Mr A. Mr A then told him that they had recently just moved in after their marriage and told Max that his wife was having trouble sleeping.

Author’s Note : This incident happened to my friend who was staying in Wangsa Maju some 10 years ago.

Back when I was a student at TAR College, I stayed in one of Wangsa Maju’s apartments. Although nothing particularly significant happened to me during the times I stayed there, but I remembered one weird incident that until today I could not explain what it was. You see, the apartment block I stayed was designed in such a way that it resembled the letter C. Meanwhile, the room I was occupying at that time was located just next to the corridors. The layout of the room that I slept on was a square room with windows that if you peeked outside the windows, you could see people walking up and down the corridors. My bed would be on the other side of the bedroom, opposite of the windows.
